55Stephanie's acreage was nicely secured by fencing that hadn't aged, remains securely erect and there wasn't any stretch or spot where it was inferior to the rest of the fencing. The land was easy for my dogs to run straight across and had no bumps or holes to trip in. It was such a comfortable environment and only about a 6 or 7 minute drive north of Trader Joe's on Division so it's really easy to get to from my area in Downriver. Her space is so far superior to my 1500 ft backyard that my two dogs became very excited to chase the ball and chase each other around and spend 20 minutes or so sniffing around.
They slept for 2 hours once we got back home. They were completely satisfied.
If my schedule allows it I will be making the trip at least once a week.Scott D.

55This spot is very clean, and has an excellent play area for the pups. Easy access to the sniff spot, with a covered entry space that has plenty of toys, treats and water as the dogs need a break. Very quiet area and safe for dogs.Mary N.

55Nice wide open spot with fun agility course. My pup needs a big space to sprint around in, so this was perfect! Clean and taken care of. Appreciate the owner's clarity and transparency regarding the cameras, toys, heated water, etc. The door leading to the animal area with chickens was open when we arrived, but thankfully our pup didn't get a good look/sniff before we were able to close it. Looking forward to coming back. Thanks a lot! :)Eva M.

55Wonderful visit. Large, flat area with agility equipment off to the side. A tire pyramid filled with soft, fine sand for our pups to climb without hurting their joints by slipping through. There's a covered patio station in the shade with water available in jugs in case you bring your own bowl instead of using the communal bowl. A large shelving unit with treats, balls, and toys is available in case you forget your own. Gate opens by combo padlock, which host provides in email. And then gate locks from inside to prevent accidental entry during your allotted time.Shanti K.

55My dog and my mom's dog took the "snifspot" literally and sniffed every single corner. My friend calls that "reading the news." Well they left plenty of "news responses" for other dogs to "read" later. :) haha It would have been fun to see them play more but I know they did what made them happy so that is what matters. So glad I found these in our area. Heard about them in other places. If someone hadn't shared on Nextdoor I'm not sure how long it would have taken me to find out. So I'll share the news also. Great place to take your dogs. Charlene D.

55We always have a blast when we come! The girls did all the ability equipment and my senior sniffed to her hearts content. You know they had a good time when both dogs are passed out in the back seat on the way home!Azalyn C.

55Fence seemed very secure and puppies had loads of fun! They wore themselves out running up and down the hill and playing in the mud. There was plenty of dry ground for the humans to walk on though, and lots of seating dispersed around the area.Claire G.

55A perfect place to bring your dog(s) and youself. Great places to run, fun activity options (running, sniffing, agility, being a dog, etc), and a great place for us humans to sit and relax. Can't imagine anything that would make this amazing spot more welcoming and enjoyable. Thank you Stephanie!Susan L.

FAQ about our Elk dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Elk area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 41 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
